fire squad lyrics

There's a bland authoritativeness to how Deshaun Watson thinks, speaks, moves. The apple witnessed this Sunday night adjoin the Kansas City Chiefs. He agilely sidesteps pass-rushers, spins 360 degrees out of absurd cartage jams, resets and rifles the brawl with ease. You apprehend it with his ever-calming accent aback he's abaft the mic. Accompany say they can alike faculty it in argument messages.

J.Cole Fire Squad (Lyrics) - YouTube | fire squad lyrics

The fate of the Houston Texans—present and future—now rests on his shoulders, and yet all he exudes is calm. It's consistently been that way.

He didn't agitation afore his acceptable touchdown canyon adjoin Alabama in the appellation bold of aftermost season's Academy Football Playoff. No, he told one of his ancestor abstracts afterwards there was aught agnosticism in his apperception Clemson would account aback the comedy alarm came in.

"I was at peace," Watson told Jack Waldrip, who aboriginal affiliated with Watson through a acquaintance at the bounded Boys & Girls Club. "I knew we were about to win.'"

A few months later, the Browns anesthetized on him—twice!—in the NFL draft. The Jets anesthetized on him, and the Bills anesthetized on him, and it seemed like the absolute NFL must've been in a blackout every Saturday the antecedent fall. Clemson drillmaster Dabo Swinney capital to bite a aperture through the wall. Mom was sad for her boy. Waldrip was "stunned." Yet Watson hardly reacted to any of the 11 players best afore assuredly his name was called. He was the one abatement anybody else's minds. Why stress? He knew he was a bad man who'd flash anywhere, anytime, and is now authoritative any aggregation that had a adventitious to aces him and anesthetized on the befalling pay for its sin.

He wants to appearance them what anybody in Houston already knows. That Deshaun Watson doesn't aloof change your offense. He changes your franchise. "That's the appulse this guy has," Swinney tells B/R Mag.

It's what every aggregation dreams of aback it selects a quarterback in the draft. It's additionally what every amateur quarterback dreams of aback he's drafted.

But not every quarterback or aggregation will see those dreams realized. The all-inclusive majority won't. Swinney warned NFL teams, publicly, that casual on Watson in the abstract was the agnate of casual on Michael Jordan, but teams acquire heard that blazon of advertising before.

We see this annually. Some teams are abashed to booty a quarterback. Others reach. Some teams bung adopted saviors into the fire, abandoned to see those saviors bake in the bonfire of tire-fire rosters. Some teams wait. The science is inexact.

Quarterbacks don't get to acquire their destination, either. They're affected to comedy the duke they're dealt, be it abridged aces or a brace to seven.

So, afterwards four teams took four quarterbacks aboriginal in this year's NFL draft, B/R Mag hit the alley over the advance of three weeks, from Foxborough to Cleveland to Houston, to get some answers:

Is Watson absolutely special? Are the Browns ruining DeShone Kizer? Is Patrick Mahomes abrupt on the bank in Kansas City? And based on his aboriginal alpha Monday night, is Mitchell Trubisky absolutely accessible to comedy for the Bears afterwards abandoned 13 academy starts?

Before the draft, Swinney's articulation cut centermost through all the noise. "When you allocution about Michael Jordan," Swinney says, "when you allocution about Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, aback you allocution about Kobe Bryant, aback you allocution about bodies like that, they transcend the sport. Jerry Rice. These are awful accomplished and accomplished people. But there's a lot of awful accomplished and accomplished people. It's all the being you don't see that makes them who they are. Because actual few bodies acquire that drive, that will to prepare, that will to win, this brainy capacity. The toughness. It's aloof rare."

So, while Mahomes waits, and Trubisky starts, and Kizer starts abandoned to get benched, here's Watson, accepted to advance a Super Bowl contender, one that's aback 2-3 and has absent arresting linemen J.J. Watt and Whitney Mercilus for the season.

No pressure, guys.

Patriot players booty a knee, accoutrements of admirers boo, Deshaun Watson takes the acreage and those accoutrements boo again. Then, for three beeline hours, the Texans amateur incinerates any affair you anytime had about him.

Against the arresting champs. Adjoin the best arch drillmaster in NFL history.

Matching the best amateur in NFL history drive for drive.

Oh, Watson doesn't acquire an NFL arm? Scrambling left, he plants, flips his anatomy and a breach additional afore accepting clobbered blindly heaves a canyon to Ryan Griffin for 35 yards. Afterwards that drive, he reads that assurance Devin McCourty is overplaying Griffin on his banderole avenue and, no sweat, missiles the brawl adjoin Griffin's added acquire instead of casting a fade. Touchdown.

The two about formed on this comedy in practice.

"He's got to apperceive that I'd be accessible for that," Griffin says. "And I was."

Oh, Watson wasn't able abundant to survive in the pocket? With bristles account left, he tears through one…two…three…four abreast sacks and finds active aback D'Onta Foreman for 31 yards.

"As I saw him braid out of the tackles, I was like Wow," Foreman says, "but I was additionally like, Get open! Alike if he's tripped up, you acquire to try to get accessible because at any moment he'll footfall out of it and acquisition you—boom, you acquire a big play."

Players are mesmerized. Watson looks so at affluence flicking abroad these 300-pounders.

"To him," Foreman says, "it's nothing."

Of course, the Texans eventually lose. Tom Brady, who was already at Michigan the day Watson was born, Sept. 14, 1995, is a hero again. Yet central the Patriots locker room, arrest to stall, it's ablaze that while the Texans absent this battle, they're accepting drive forth the way.

Franchises aberrate aimlessly in the dupe for decades analytic for quarterbacks. Today, a brilliant is born. One cornerback, Malcolm Butler, calls Watson an "up-and-coming Cam Newton." The added cornerback, Stephon Gilmore, calls Watson "more active and faster" than the Carolina Panthers' QB, a above MVP and the best NFL baton in QB touchdown runs.

Those arresting linemen who couldn't accompany him bottomward are still mystified.

"All of the scrambling quarterbacks," vet Alan Branch says, "it's adamantine to analyze them because they all acquire altered escape routes, moves. Some of them are absolutely acceptable attractive downfield as they're accomplishing that. Others aloof apperceive how to assignment a pocket. He's a little bit of all of them."

Rookie Deatrich Wise puts it best: "He holds his approaching in his hands."

J. Cole Rips Eminem White Rappers On New Song 'Fire Squad' | fire squad lyrics

Indeed, he does.

If abandoned it was this ablaze for Kizer.

This is what a agenda beneath sledgehammer about-face resembles. What's larboard afterwards the offseason accident are 21-year-olds, space-filling veterans and beatific ignorance.

But on this day, at least, there is hope. Alike at 0-3, several Browns players assert this aggregation can accomplish the playoffs. Their axle of light—be it astute or hallucination—is the latest Called One actuality on the shores of Lake Erie: DeShone Kizer.

Tight end David Njoku calls him a "beast." Centermost JC Tretter meets with Kizer three times a anniversary to artifice protections. He wants to booty as abundant off Kizer's bowl mentally as he can.

The brawl fires off Kizer's hand, he says. The poise…steely.

The Kizer who appear to training camp, Tretter adds, was absolutely altered than the amateur he saw in minicamp. He wasn't timid. He ripped through comedy calls. He was "demonstrative."

So why not bandy him into the snaps that matter? Abandoned so abundant is abstruse in a blur room. It's one affair to philosophize in a address hall, and absolutely addition to get your easily bedraggled in the absolute world. As advanced receiver Rashard Higgins puts it, defenders try to "rip your jugular out" on Sundays, and Kizer is accepting the jugular-ripping reps Trubisky and Mahomes are not. Through it all, Higgins sees addition who's "laid-back," who's "goofy" but will absolutely lock in.

This is a baton who's sniping at teammates for banausic through 11-on-11 reps and authoritative anybody ataxia afresh aback abandoned 10 players band up at practice. That's what advanced receiver Bug Howard loves. His angle is rare: He bent passes from Trubisky at UNC in academy and is now on the Browns convenance squad. He knows activity 52nd all-embracing is active Kizer, that he's aggravating to "show the apple 'I should've been The Guy.'"

And the receiver who believes Trubisky will be on an Aaron Rodgers akin in bristles years isn't shy with Kizer. "I anticipate he knows the aptitude he has but absolutely can't see what he can be," Howard says. "He's addition it out."

Wide receiver Kasen Williams sees the quarterback assuming up in this architecture at 6 a.m. By 7, the two of them are breaking bottomward film. They anatomize that week's opponent. They analyze their own mistakes. Kizer tells him area to sit adjoin assertive zones, how he wants coil routes run, etc. So abundant goes into the quarterback-receiver relationship, and they're starting, literally, from scratch. One anniversary prior, Williams cut his avenue at 12 yards aback it should've been 10 and Kizer threw a pick.

Running aback Duke Johnson could be the kid's best acquaintance as addition who's consistently accessible beneath defenses. Then again, Johnson action and says he hasn't baffled that into Kizer's arch yet. Probably because earlier receivers—cough, Kenny Britt, cough—keep adage "Gimmie! Gimmie! Gimmie! I'm open! I'm open!" he says.

Johnson knows how difficult Kizer's activity is, 24/7, appropriate now.

"He's been drafted as The Guy who's activity to alpha the turnaround," Johnson says. "Week in and anniversary out, he has a lot of burden on him."

Johnson thinks it's best for quarterbacks—all players, really—to see others spiral up first.

To wait.

"He doesn't acquire the affluence of sitting abaft somebody and cat-and-mouse and learning," Johnson says. "That's boxy for him because he doesn't get to see somebody abroad go out there and blend up. It's him who's accomplishing the messing up.

"He has to apprentice on the fly and aloof amount it out as he goes."

Five years from now? Kizer can be great, Johnson assures, alike with this aural disadvantage.

But appropriate now? Yeah, appropriate now, acceptable luck.

Moments afterwards Watson accounts for his fifth touchdown of the day adjoin Tennessee 1,300 afar away—tying the NFL amateur record—Kizer faces a 4th-and-9.

One Bengal (Carl Lawson) goes low, one (Carlos Dunlap) goes high, and Kizer is bodyslammed with WWE authority. It's 31-zip. His aback is covered in a grass stain. What charcoal of him, physically and emotionally, trots to the sideline. Kizer isn't captivated about it, but one drive afterwards drillmaster Hue Jackson yanks him.

Again, he had no advice this day.

Britt, the team's $32.5 actor receiver, played like a 32-cent receiver. He abandoned asleep three drives with one apocryphal start, one cruise out of a breach and a abandoned canyon that was picked. Added receivers couldn't get open. The abhorrent band was added clarify than strength. One Tretter breeze sailed over Kizer's head. The defense? Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton resembled Anteroom of Famer Joe Montana. Kizer? Bad habits he had at Notre Dame abandoned got worse.

On additional thought, yeah, Johnson was right.

Other than bruises to his anatomy and pride, what was gained? Probably abandoned the acquirement at Club 46 in the belly of the stadium. At this bar adjoining to the tunnel, about 75 assemblage aloof the affliction of 18 losses in 19 amateur with Leinenkugel and Budweiser and affair and wine. A savior appears out of the adjacent locker allowance in the anatomy of adamant 6'4", 272-pound Myles Garrett. He stops to assurance an autograph for one fan's son and strides to the exit.

This is the able-bodied aptitude the Browns chose over all quarterbacks.

Walk into the Browns locker room, appropriate accomplished the words "Expect to Win" painted on a wall, and it is antipathy quiet. The abandoned aural sounds are the zipping of bags, the detaping of ankles, one bendable cough, one loud curse from the showers and accessories managers acclaim loading attache accoutrements of acquire pads assimilate two ample crates. All achievement from a brace of canicule above-mentioned feels drained.

When one media relations official easily Kizer a packet of the game's statistics, he easily it back. An icy blaze beyond his face, Kizer strolls his roller bag through the locker room, into the account allowance and block into "execute" and "maximize opportunity" autopilot. The theme: How in the hell do you accumulate your confidence?

["562.6"]

"You apprentice from the good," Kizer says. "You apprentice from the bad. You abide to try to improve. The bulletin I alive by is that every day is a new befalling to get better."

No, he repeats, his aplomb is not shaken.

Back central the locker room, asleep serious, Williams asserts this aggregation doesn't acquire 0-4 talent. No, there's "winning-record talent" in here. Eliminate drops, he adds, and Kizer would've looked like one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.

That's the adverse variable, of course.

All-Pro advanced receiver Julio Jones ain't walking through that door.

"Like it or not," Williams says, "we're the ones he's benumbed with. So it's about us architecture the aplomb in him and continuing to abound it."

The ones he's benumbed with acquire his back, too. Linebacker Christian Kirksey knows Clevelanders are all assured Kizer to comedy absolute because he's The Guy but repeats anybody abroad needs to accomplish plays. Britt labels him "tough," repeatedly, abacus that Kizer will never stop fighting. And poor Joe Thomas, the approaching Anteroom of Fame accouterment who's blocked for 20 starting quarterbacks over 10,000-plus afterwards snaps, miraculously maintains a smile.

Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn and Colt McCoy and Johnny Manziel.

Can he ascertain annihilation central Kizer, annihilation at all, that suggests he's different?

"He's got a lot of confidence," Thomas says, "and we've got a lot of aplomb in him."

The Browns will host the Jets a anniversary later.

At halftime, Kizer will be benched.

The Texans are cerebration Super Bowl, baby.

The apprehension is for Watson to do what Texans QBs Matt Schaub and Brian Hoyer and Ryan Fitzpatrick and Brock Osweiler afore him could not: breach bottomward those amusing "AFC South Champions" banners in the amphitheater and accession one that absolutely matters. Whereas Johnson's articulation was abstemious with a adumbration of despair, Foreman relaxes in his locker with a animation in his eyes.

"I'm like Dabo," he says. "It's adamantine to put your feel on it. You aloof apperceive he's special."

All acceptance in Watson began in that 'Bama win, grew aback the Texans saw him in being and became absolute catching aback he replaced Tom Savage beneath center. Watson never screams into a megaphone. Instead, Foreman sees his quarterback in the weight room. DeAndre Hopkins sees his quarterback allotment to breach in on a night off.

And that arena appearance alone—knee-buckling tacklers, gunslingin' beyond his body—naturally rallies.

"It's article he has," Foreman says. "It's article he came in with. Assertive being you acquire is congenital from you growing up arena football and compassionate the blazon of amateur you are at a adolescent age. … You never can see a about-face in him. Alike if the game's close, it's nothing. He's consistently the aforementioned person. The moment is never too big for him. He aloof plays. He's assured in the throws he makes. He's assured breaking tackles. Aback you're that confident, you can acquire whatever comes at you."

What a adumbration for this defense. Forever overworked, Mercilus action and says arresting players can now arctic on top of a Gatorade jug best aback the breach is on the field.

Houston is accomplished with caretakers at QB. It has a playmaker.

The bar for amateur quarterbacks is about low—not so here. Moral victories won't cut it.

"A alienated team. Of course, it's activity to be abundant altered than Cleveland," Mercilus says. "Coming in here, it could be difficult, but he's way advanced of the curve. You can see that, honestly. We saw it in camp. He's fabricated it attending accessible as far as learning."

The aftereffect is a kid accepting the time of his life. During practices, aback a comedy alarm sounds like a assertive song, receiver Bruce Ellington will generally belt the lyrics and the two breach into dance. Sure enough, two canicule later, an hour afore Sunday's NBC showdown adjoin the Chiefs, it looks like Watson's prepping for a academy civil game. He bounces on his toes for 20-plus abnormal with the absolute breach anon ambit him to do the same.

Watson makes a point to allocution to everybody on the roster, Ellington says. He absolutely wants to be accompany with "everybody." Sporting a atramentous Air Jordan catchbasin top, Ellington doesn't authority back.

MJ? Watson?

Hell yes, Watson can be the Michael Jordan of the NFL.

"Honestly, I anticipate he can," he says. "The way he leads this aggregation and calls plays in the ataxia and goes out there and gets the job done? I anticipate he can be."

At 9:34 p.m. CT, it becomes official. Watt has suffered a tibial plateau breach in his larboard leg. His 2017 division is over.

At 9:38 p.m., it is 4th-and-inches and Watson pumps left, rolls right, hits Will Fuller for a touchdown and anon allotment to the animate bank on the amusement to abstraction the drive on a tablet.

["465.6"]

J.Cole - Fire Squad (Lyrics) - YouTube | fire squad lyrics

The Texans lose, 42-34, but the Michael moments continue.

He escapes a airless abridged with a abounding spin, and Waldrip's words from a few canicule above-mentioned echo: He aloof sees things added bodies don't see. No added quarterback reverses acreage like this; no added quarterback dares.

When an unblocked, 307-pound Rakeem Nunez-Roches barrels down, Watson accidentally accomplish to his side, reloads and unloads a 48-yard touchdown to Fuller. Like it's nothing. Like it's expected. Like that argument he beatific to Swinney a anniversary prior: This is what I'm declared to do.

Seconds later, Usher's "Yeah!" booms on the speakers, and aback the videoboard shows a fan with a gigantic agent of Watson's face, this army of 71,835 that was absolutely in tears aback Watt went bottomward aback roars.

Watson refuses to quit. With no attempt to win, bottomward 42-26, Watson thinks big picture. He whistles a brawl 60 yards in the air to Stephen Anderson, kills the clock, throws a touchdown on the game's final comedy and converts a two-pointer. While all-embracing centermost Nick Martin, Watson absolutely knows these are the moments that will accomplish him a leader.

Watt is out for the year. Mercilus, too, afterwards he suffered a broken pectoral muscle.

This is Watson's team.

Teammates vow he's accessible for that reality. The Texans are uber-protective of Watson, attached his interviews to abrupt belvedere sessions, but he sounds ready.

What's Watson still alive on? Easy. "Leadership. On and off the field."

Around the bend, awash central the visitor's locker room, nobody's talking to Patrick Mahomes as the Chiefs locker allowance clears out. He's ashore abaft Alex Smith. Aback one bounded television anchorman waits to account Mahomes, a aggregation official cuts in to ask, "You apperceive he didn't play, right?"

Ouch. Mahomes can apprehend you, man.

After that camera leaves, Mahomes admits this is a "weird deal." He wants to play. Yet he additionally says cipher on the amusement is added pumped than him afterwards touchdowns.

"As a competitor," he says, "you appetite to play, but you apperceive area the aggregation is appropriate now with the guy who is the baton of this aggregation arena quarterback. You aloof acquire to delay and be patient."

So he marvels at Smith. Mahomes is the aboriginal to characterization Smith an MVP candidate. He says that if he anytime does get his shot, all he wants to do is be able and move the breach up and bottomward the field.

And, well, he additionally can't advice but curiosity at that amateur called two picks afterwards him.

"He looks to me absolutely as he did at Clemson," Mahomes says. "Just a guy who's activity to go out there, accomplish plays and no moment's too big for him."

The abutting night, Mitchell Trubisky gets his aboriginal alpha adjoin the Vikings, and his arm backbone abandoned revives a abject fanbase.

Right actuality is a affection quarterbacks of all ages lack: Trubisky zips the brawl with aerial acceleration and define accurateness while on the run. For best of the contest, you'd never assumption the guy started abandoned 13 amateur in college. He hits bound end Zach Miller for a 20-yard touchdown, ties the bold with a run himself on a ambush comedy for the about-face and puts the Bears in position to win late.

You could about apprehend the narration. Trubisky has the brawl at his own 10-yard band with two account and 32 abnormal to go. This is the bearing of a legend.

Until he does resemble an amateur quarterback.

Trubisky scrambles again, throws abaft Miller, the ball's intercepted and Chicago loses, 20-17. His comedy injects achievement into a authorization that hasn't had a Pro Bowl QB back 1985. But, abundant like Kizer, Trubisky is additionally throwing to receivers off the atom heap. There'll be added growing pains.

In a brace of ablaze necklaces, blinding-silver shoes and a shirt that reads "Measure of my dreams," Watson exits the NRG Amphitheater a loser, again, admitting addition bristles touchdowns. He's been must-see TV every Sunday, but now comes the adamantine part.

Winning.

Swinney isn't afraid one bit.

"His ceiling," Swinney assures, "is unlimited."

Because Swinney still cannot accomplish faculty of all this. He calls Watson's abatement in the abstract one of the best abstract things he's been a allotment of in his life. "There's annihilation he lacks," he adds blankly. Whatever Watson accomplishes this year, Swinney promises, will anemic in allegory to what he does in 2018 and 2019 and beyond—he won't stop working.

That amateur abrogation the amphitheater afterwards addition apricot loss? That's not alone a ascent star.

"He can be," Swinney says, "as acceptable as we've seen."
